Comparative Literature
We are happy to announce the Global Literary Studies major. This new major is a dynamic collaboration of multiple UW departments and housed in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures. Global Literary Studies (GLITS) introduces students to works of literature from around the world and from all eras of human history. Drawing on the expertise of faculty from across the Humanities Division, GLITS offers students a rich array of courses that reveal the importance and lasting impact of various forms of imaginative writing and speech. All GLITS courses are taught in English and work with literature in English translation. Skills developed by the study of literature include the ability to effectively communicate in oral and written form, to activate one's imagination and creativity, and to engage with varied points of view, ways of thinking, and lived experiences. GLITS is a flexible program of study that provides students many opportunities to customize their degree.
